The Offaly team to face Louth in tomorrow night's Leinster U20FC opener at Faithful Fields includes seven players who featured in last year's All-Ireland final victory over Roscommon.

Goalkeeper Sean O'Toole, defenders Lee Pearson, Tom Hyland and John Furlong, midfielder Morgan Tynan and forwards Cormac Egan and Keith O'Neill have been named in Declan Kelly's selection. Fionn Dempsey, who started the All-Ireland final at corner back, is listed among the subs. 

Cormac Delaney and Darragh Flynn also start in attack after being subs last year, while two other All-Ireland U20 winners, Cathal Ryan and Jamie Guing, have to be content with places on the bench.

Lee Pearson and Keith O'Neill both played for the Offaly seniors in the last round of the Allianz League against Cork last Sunday week. Despite suffering a recurrence of a hamstring injury in a recent U20 challenge against the Rebels, Cormac Egan has been named at top of the right. 

Offaly (U20FC v Louth): Sean O'Toole; Lee Pearson, Diarmuid Finneran, Tom Hyland; Geordi Murphy, John Furlong, Jay Sheerin; Morgan Tynan, Adam Strong; Cormac Delaney, Harry Plunkett, Marcus Dalton; Cormac Egan, Keith O'Neill, Darragh Flynn.
